Brian&Joanna,
Your Mom was a special person. She greatly influenced my life , especially in Chicago during my formative years. Both Christine and I recently reached out and were soothed by Aunt Linda regarding a Big 10 road trip for Our daughter – she was always welcoming & kind when we called and always teaching! We will miss her greatly. Rest In Peace.
A genuinely affectionate and warm-hearted lady. Smart, caring, eager for family updates and conversation.
Our thoughts and memories be with you both, JoAnna and Brian during this solemn time.
